Greenlash is an abbreviation for 'green backlash', meaning resistance to decarbonisation and other climate and nature-related measures.
- Greenlash in Europe
- "Europe faces growing pushback against policies to address climate change and protect the environment, causing its green agenda to start to fray.
- Here are some countries where the "greenlash" is greatest:
- BRITAIN
- Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on September 20 he would delay a ban on sales of new petrol cars and targets for domestic heating until 2035 to maintain the consent of the British people in the switch to net zero, among other changes to climate strategy.
- Sunak denied he was watering down Britain's climate targets, repeating earlier comments that Britain could afford to make slower progress because it was 'so far ahead'.
- Britain's climate advisers said in June it was not doing enough to meet its mid-century net-zero target.
- A [UK] government-commissioned review also found businesses complained of weaknesses in Britain's investment environment, including inconsistent commitment to the energy transition."
